Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant serves a creative mix of American, Japanese, and local fare, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options on request.

And if you’re sleeping in post-show, don’t worry — breakfast is served late enough to fit your schedule.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s perfectly placed within walking distance of Calgary’s vibrant nightlife scene. Nearby bars and lounges offer everything from craft cocktails to chill vibes, making it easy to keep the night going or wind it down smoothly. The hotel’s own bar is a relaxed spot for a nightcap or pre-show drink.

What People Say

The vibe is described as “cool without trying too hard,” and the onsite amenities like pool tables and vending machines are a nice bonus.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that there’s no dedicated parking lot, and while public parking is nearby, it can get pricey during peak events. A few also mention that soundproofing between rooms could be better — so maybe pack some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
